 |
| [Right click/open in new tab to enlarge] |
Here's the opinion.
It's nice to see it's not unanimous:
Like countless other Americans, I can think of little legitimate use for a bump stock. That thought, however, has nothing to do with the legality of the Bump Stock Rule. For the reasons detailed supra, I believe the Bump Stock Rule expands the statutory definition of "machinegun” and is therefore ultra vires. In my view, the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their challenge and I would grant them preliminary injunctive relief. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.The question now: Will our vaunted "5-4" SCOTUS again wash its hands of it?
Penalty Flaggers
Nobody suggested that he ever pointed the B.B. gun at anyone, nor that he waved it or flourished it in an ostentatious or angry manner (referring to dictionary definitions of "brandish"). But he was then arrested for two counts of "assault by intimidation" and two counts of brandishing, purely because the two workers said they were afraid. [More]I've recalled before how I had more freedom as a boy in the Shah's Iran than my boys had growing up in the land of the Second Amendment.

Thank Democrats and Cheap Labor Republicans
An Accelerated Schedule
What Pennsylvania makes clear is that Republican control of the state legislature is the only thing that stands in the way of regulations making gun ownership much more difficult. In any states, when Democrats win complete control, even ones that have been traditionally friendly to self-defense, there will be a strong push for gun control.

You Get a Rule, You Get a Rule, YOU Get a Rule...*
The ATF’s approach means that each industry member that asks a question about how to apply or interpret the rules gets its own private answer, an answer that none of its competitors knows about and which does not serve as a legal precedent. It means that no one in the industry has any certainty, not even the firm that asked the question in the first place, because the ATF can always change a decision it made in a private “no-action” letter later on. And it means that the ATF has almost complete discretion in how it regulates, because it is creating no precedents. [More]Some of us have asked about that. But we're just a small cadre in a tangled web.
